The story is engaging and beautifully presented, with a distinctive art style and memorable characters, though its vague objectives and quest design can lead to some frustrating backtracking. While the narrative is light and inspired by Alice in Wonderland, it provides an enjoyable, experience-driven journey that encourages exploration despite occasionally feeling quest-heavy. Overall, it offers a compelling story for those who appreciate a curious, less guided adventure.
- “The art style is gorgeous, the story is interesting, it's easy to navigate, straightforward, the characters have personality... it's overall just a really special game.”
- “This is a game that is meant to tell a story, and be an experience.”
- “The story is easy to follow, understand, and for some, identifiable since it's inspired (based?) by Alice in Wonderland.”
- “No map, no objective markers, no notes on which quests I can or can't progress on.”
- “While I’m not one for a good long handhold, I like to know what my objective is without a doubt, and that felt a little weak here, leading to much backtracking and scouting when you misinterpret the vague finger point the story gives you.”
- “Since every quest is just blindly searching for items you may as well play with a walkthrough; otherwise you're following along every wall with your camera pointed at the ground.”
